South American Adventure – Timeline and Index

Since it’s easy to lose track of my relatively sporadic travel update posts, I thought I’d create one single post on my homepage listing our adventures day by day. I’ll link to any posts I eventually put up as well – so it’ll hopefully become an index for posts about my trip!

23rd Feb – Walked to Cabo beach, spent the morning there before walking back through the woods. Bus back to Santa Marta – checked into Drop Bear Hostel, and ex-cartel house. Took the Sunday night tour of the house.

24th Feb – Spent the day in the hostel, letting our sunburn heal and generally recovering.

13th Mar – Horse riding in Salento, high up in the Colombian Andes. Visited a waterfall and spent the afternoon in town. It rained a lot!

14th Mar – Salento to Cali by bus. Walked around Cali for the evening.

15th Mar – Cali to Leticia by air (because there are no roads). Short riverboat tour in the Amazon.

Part Two – Peru

16th Mar – Sailed down the Amazon River to Iquitos in Peru!

17th Mar – Catch-up day in Iquitos. Three hours in an internet cafe blogging, laundry, booked Amazon tour and flights out of the jungle, sorting out a lost bank card. All the fun realities of travelling!

31st Mar – Started travelling with the Peru Hop bus – Lima to Cusco via Paracas, Huacachino and Nasca. Full tour en route to Paracas with stops around Lima, at Pachacamac ruins, a lovely beach and an old hacienda.
